Fill out FAFSA now for 2024-25

The newly streamlined FAFSA is now available for 2024-25! Please be aware January is considered a soft-launch period for the new application, which means the site will have occasional outages. Federal Student Aid asks that you exercise patience. If you have questions, please contact the Wartburg Financial Aid Office at 319-352-8262 or finaid@wartburg.edu.

Keep sending in professional highlights

A reminder to all faculty and staff: Please send Marketing & Communication any professional accomplishments by you or your students! We want to lift those successes up to the Wartburg community, and they’re also useful for recruitment materials. Submit your news to the Juice or contact your account executive directly.

Internship learning contracts due Jan. 16

Students completing a credit-bearing internship for Winter Term 2024 must have their learning contracts completed and returned to Jo Dorrance no later than 4 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 16. Any late contracts will require a variance to college policy. For more information or to receive a blank contract, email jo.dorrance@wartburg.edu.

Read a book with Hearthside Project

Connect with faculty and staff outside the formality of the classroom or workplace by reading and discussing a book together. Students receive their books free of charge. Reading groups consist of one book leader and three students. To apply, email the leader of the book you’re interested in discussing. See group leaders and books online.

Community service planned on MLK Day

Classes will be on a shortened schedule Monday, Jan. 15, to allow students, faculty, and staff to participate in volunteer activities. Keep an eye out for a special Martin Luther King Jr. Day Juice later this week with details.

Employee assistance program can help with stress

While many of us experienced the joy of the holiday season, many others were met with large amounts of stress. If you’re going through family issues, grief, depression, or other concerns, call 319-235-3550 to schedule an appointment with UnityPoint Health EAP. You can schedule up to 12 visits per year for free.

Personnel Advisory Committee changes to Staff Council

The Personnel Advisory Committee is now called the Staff Council. This change is meant to make it clear this group represents all staff in the same way Faculty Council represents all faculty.
